Pipes on the fence: the choice and installation

Pipes

Pipes are almost universal building material, which is used not only for creating communication systems, but also for organizing transitions, creating racks and even columns. At the same time, it is not always necessary to apply new designs, since some types of work allow us to take products that have already been in use. This is best seen when bu pipes are used on the fence.

The choice of material and its installation

To begin with, it is necessary to say that these constructions are basically columns. They constitute a kind of section, between which is the wall separating the site. In this case, the fence of pipes can use a similar material not only to create pillars, but also the entire supporting structure.

Sometimes the profile products for such needs are immediately made in the form of racks with places for fastening with the help of bolts

Profile material

Such designs usually involve the use of new products.

At the same time, they are additionally protected from external environmental influences with the help of a primer and paint.

The project of the fence on the basis of specialized materials
  • It should be noted that the fence of the profile pipe is created from materials with different dimensions. Large elements are used to create racks, and small parts are used as a supporting frame for sheet metal. At the same time, experts are trying to create such fences without the use of welding, collecting them on bolts.
  • Usually sectional fences from a profile pipe belong to the category of the cheapest, but there are also such production options, when the cost of finished products can be compared with inexpensive forging.
Various methods for creating bases for support columns in the manufacture of fences
  • As the overlap is usually used profiled sheets of metal.. They can have a different shape, and their protective coating not only reduces the external impact, but also gives the structure a good appearance.
  • If fences are welded from a profile pipe, it is very important to carefully clean the joint after installation and then treat it with a primer and paint for pipes..

Tip! It is important to remember that all calculations of such structures are made in linear meters, and the purchase of metal is by weight. Therefore, you need to have a project developed in advance in order to prevent mistakes.

Used water systems are well suited for the manufacture of structures of this type.

Used material

Usually pipes used in the manufacture of brick columns. They serve as the main support around which the building is being erected. The diameter of the selected material is not very important, unless it stands for the dimensions of the internal space. (See also the article The chimney brick for chimney: features.)

It is best to use the material that was used in drilling wells, because it has high strength and thick walls.

Also, this material is great for creating racks for metal mesh. It is often used to save money, especially if the work is done by hand.

It should be noted that when using products that have already been in service, they should be carefully examined to identify severe damage or obvious defects. You also need to clean the surface of the part, covering it with a layer of primer. Only after that it can be taken to work.

Too rusty materials or pipes that have come in contact with salt water should not be used for such construction, as they may be corroded.

Tip! Using pipes when working, it is recommended to seal their openings in order to prevent ingress of moisture and the formation of corrosion from the inside. However, before this is done, experts advise you to pour a small amount of the compound into them that neutralizes rust.

Installation recommendations

It is worth remembering that the price of the metal is quite high, and it is not recommended to start work without a previously prepared project.

This is especially important when shopping in order to properly select the length of the blanks.

The simplest design of metal mesh does not need a solid foundation, but it is imperative to strengthen the landing site.
  • The foundation is a very important element of such structures. Therefore, its manufacture must be approached very responsibly and with skill.
  • Usually the installation manual advises to use a tape base. However, to save money, you can concreting the pipes themselves, but experts recommend making at least their minimum bundle at the lower level.
  • By purchasing material that has already been in use, you can save a lot, but it must be borne in mind that not all of the selected items have the same quality and there may be a pipe among purchases that simply cannot be used. Therefore, experts recommend in advance to agree with the seller about checking the entire product and its return.
In addition to the fence, such products are suitable for the manufacture of gates, wickets or doors.

Conclusion

After studying the video in this article, you can learn more about the process of creating such structures from pipes. Also, if we take into account the text proposed above, it is necessary to conclude that this material is just perfect for such work and can be used even after prolonged use.
